Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Dickinson, AL.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox center or treatment center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Dickinson that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
